Figure 2

Photomicrograph of the VX that demonstrates hyperparakeratosis with keratin plugs, elongated, thickened epithelial rete ridges, and subepithelial connective tissue filled by foamy cells (arrows). The oral mucosa adjacent to the lesion shows a band-like (asterisks) dense inflammatory infiltrate (hematoxylin and eosin stain, ×150). A higher magnification (inset, ×400) showing epithelial parakeratosis, acanthosis, basal cell hydropic degeneration, and subepithelial predominant lymphocytic infiltrates.
